WAS KERENSKY BEHIND THE KORNILOFF REVOLT?

STARTLING REVELATIONS

TABLES TURNED IN THE WEST

GERMANS FORCED TO TAKE NEW MEASURES

llussia, that land of strange and -unexpected happenings and dramatic denouements, offers a new eeneation to-day. General Korniloff is reported to have bee.i pardoned by the Government on the ground that his recent action was due to a mistaken idea of the. situation. Korniloff has conTinoed the Government that he is anti-Royalist, and that his recent attempted coup was in the nature of an attack on t'ho extremists. But that is not all. Iverensky is now under suspicion of being behind Korniloff, in the initial stages, at any rate,'of the trouble, and the capital is seething with all sorts of rumours. On the Riga battle-front the Russians have scored a success. Thero is next to no newa of the Italian main operations. In Tripoli the Italians liavo rounded-up, and decisively defeated, a formidable array of nativo tribesmen, equipped with German guns. In the West, the conflict has died down again to the routine war of the artillery duel, trench raids, and air offensives. M. Marcel Hutin states that as the result of Sir Douglas Haig'ts recent victory, the Germans this coming winter will be forced to fight in low-lying flooded areas, in splashing trenches, and leaky, dug-outs, while the British, on the high ground newly won, have the prospect of tho most comfortable winter quarters they have had since the war broke out.
